Abdominal paracentesis is typically done as an outpatient procedure, unless the complications from the fluid build up warrant hospitalization. The patient is usually awake during the procedure as anesthesia is not typically necessary.
Paracentesis. Paracentesis is a procedure used to collect and remove some of the fluid to help determine what is causing it to build up. Having ascites may lead to: 1  Extreme discomfort, including abdominal pain and difficulty breathing. 2  Infection of the ascitic fluid (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis). 3  Increased fluid accumulation in the chest cavity (pleural effusion). 4  Abdominal wall hernias, especially umbilical hernias.
